I'm sorry I didn't specify size. It is a 1/8". I'm trying to keep the size as small as possible because this particular piece of blade steel is very expensive. Sometimes I buy forged pieces of stock from makers because I do not forge myself. This particular stuff is called San mai, and it cost around $200 for this piece, which is 14" x 2" x .200" thick. I can get two blades out if as it sits, but I am trying my best to minimize waste. On a cheaper piece of bladensteel it would not be such an issue, but it is here. I may have to move up to a 3/16" or 1/4" to finish, but I hate to waste the stock from the wider kerf.

Yes, full face means full width or slotting.
